The Prospector Theater Sends Cheers and Sparkle to Wilton Police Officers Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro to Support Special Olympics

The awesome team at The Prospector Theater, soon to open in Wilton, extended their heartfelt words of support to the two Wilton Police officers who are climbing Mount Kilimanjaro this week!

"Our friends at the Wilton, CT Police Department are beginning their journey up Mount Kilimanjaro today to support Special Olympics!!! Sparkle on Wilton!" they wrote of their Facebook Page. 

The photo you see here (courtesy of The Prospector Theater) shows Prospects and two Wilton Police officers holding a Prospector flag inside the Ridgefield theater. In the center of the photo (pretty in pink) is Valerie Jensen, founder of The Prospector Theater. 

Last year, Wilton Police Lt. David Hartman and Lt. Rob Kluk of the Wilton Police Department made a commitment to raise funds for Special Olympics by climbing a mountain. And, not just any mountain. The officers are in Africa this week climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro!

The Prospector Theater & Kimco Realty announced this week that they will be bringing a new first-run movie theater to downtown Wilton, in the space currently occupied by Bow Tie Cinemas. Prospects, and popcorn, and sparkle – oh my!

The Prospector Wilton will be a four-screen, non-profit premium movie theater with the mission of employing adults with disabilities in an integrated and competitive work environment. The renovated theater, located in Kimco’s Wilton River Park shopping center at 21 River Road, will bring the sparkle, design, adaptive technology, and accessibility of the Ridgefield location to downtown Wilton.

Renovations will begin in September 2020, with an opening near the end of 2021.
